Summary: Screw the bet. Rodney was going to prove the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Oh, and incidentally, he might just catch the United States Air Force with their pants around their ankles.

Review: This is exactly the satisfying long read you were looking for, enjoy! Except for where whizzy strings us along with the pre-slash. But she promises it'll be slash, so don't let it hold you back, it's a well worth read.
